Many of Australia's broadacre crops have or will have herbicide tolerance traits added in the future.

Precision agriculture (PA) as a crop management philosophy was first hypothesised in the early 1990's as a way of utilising the development of technology such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and variabl

Discussions with any number of people in the cotton industry will indicate that the move towards integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been one of the most significant changes in the industry in recent years, As a pest

Cotton Research and Development Corporation is exploring the possibility that a trained sniffer dog may be able to assist in field operations testing for Helicoverpa Armigera pupae.

Control of Helicoverpa armigera is being forced towards minimising reliance on broad spectrum insecticides.

Fusarium wilt of cotton, caused by the soil-borne fungus - Fusarium oxysporum formae specialis vasinfectum (Fov), is a worldwide disease of great economic importance.

This paper explores some specific short-term impacts of reductions in water available for cotton irrigation. It is noted that longer term impacts are much more difficult to determine.

Water-use efficiency of cotton production and minimising the impact of the cotton industry on the environment have emerged as issues of great importance.

Cotton production worldwide uses 11 per cent of global insecticides each year and the trend continues to increase (Pesticide News, 2001).

Cotton planted into stubble has shown many advantages over conventional planting practices, including: reducing soil erosion, reducing pesticide and nutrient movement, and improving soil condition (Waters and Sequeira

In the 2001/02 season Australian cotton growers achieved what is believed to be a world record. They harvested more cotton per hectare than any other major cotton producing nation.

The 'Know The Flow' project was initiated in 1997 to address issues relating to the accurate measurement of the delivery of irrigation water to farms.

This position paper summarises research and investigations to develop a strategy for the effective use of the internet in the Australian irrigation industry.

Irrigated dairying is a major farming activity in the Murray Valley Irrigation Area (MVIA), in north-east Victoria, contributing greatly to this State's economy.

As part of this project preliminary standards for AFIE were established, based on engineeringprinciples and the field experience of farmers and extension officers.

In recognising the apparent move by some States toward new investment in irrigation infrastructure, the Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (LWRRDC) commissioned the Australian Centre for Tro
